Hey guys, I wanted to share my journey as it was this site that gave me a lot of great insight into picking out Dr. Konior along with seeing results and answering all of my questions. This procedure was done in early October and I've posted my Pre op photo, immediate Post op and also one month update. I'm more than happy to answer questions and hopefully I can be a resource to those who are thinking about having the surgery. Dr. Konior and team are extremely transparent and diligent from start to finish. Don't let the waiting list scare you off, it's absolutely worth the wait. H -
FUT Session with Dr. Diep for 2200 grafts
rahul_s replied to rahul_s's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
Thank you for sharing others experiences. I share the same opinions as others about Dr. Diep. When I consulted with Dr. Diep in-person he flat out ignored when I told him that H&W and Dr. Rahal rejected to do my HT a few years ago considering that my hair loss might progress and donor supply. But I decided to go with him for a few factors. He's local and I don't have to travel. I also reviewed his past results which made me choose him. I'll consult Mohebi in 4-5 months after my donor area heals. I'm also planning to consult others for my next HT and keeping my options open even -
Hi Everyone - I've been lurking this super helpful forum of ours for the past 1+ years and I thought it's about time I start contributing back. Background After extensive lurking I reached the conclusion that Dr. Konior had the most respect and was regularly being praised as the top doctor in this field so I decided to go with him. I had a few email exchanges with Dr. Konior and after looking at my pictures and hair loss he recommended I needed around 3,000 grafts in the frontal region but if I wanted a more conservative approach I should get 2,000. I liked Dr. Konior's email response t

Hello there folks - long time lurker in this forum. I finally decided to go in for my procedure this week. I chose Dr. Scott Alexander in Phoneix for my procedure. I had consulted with a few other doctors as well, and all of them gave me pretty much the same recommendations (except one): 1. Dr. Blake Bloxham - 2500 - 3000 FUT 2. Dr. Jae Pak - 2000 - 2500 FUT 3. Dr. Sahar Nadimi(Konior) - 2500 - 3000 FUT 4. Dr. Shaver (Bernstein) - 2500 FUT 5. Dr. Hasson - 5000 FUE 6. Dr. Alexaner 3000+FUT I also tried contacting Dr. Gabel a couple of times, but didn't get a response. I -
2,177 FUT from Dr. Konior

Hi Boys - I'm guilty of not updating my thread. I think what happens is that a lot of us use this place for moral/emotional support right after a HT and then once things start looking good we tend to abandon it. I'm guilty of that. I'm actually over 2 years out now from my first FUT but the pictures I'm posting below are at around the 10 month mark. I didn't gain much more density than what's shown in these pictures. Perhaps 5% more at max and I don't take many pictures of myself so I apologize I don't have more. However, I must also note that I just recently had my second FUT with Dr. Konior -
Hi everyone, I wanted to consult with you all regarding my hair transplant journey. I live in Miami, Florida and traveled to Chicago where I had an FUE surgery with Dr. Sahar Nadimi one year ago and had 1500 grafts put in. At the time, I already felt I had great hair but wanted to restore my hairline which was thinning in the corners. While I must say, the experience with Nadimi's office was 100% exceptional and my donor area did not even look like I had surgery within a week, I mean seriously some of the best donor work I have ever seen. A year later and what i'm facing is that I just -
Can you post the back of your head including your neck instead of the crown? Also, only go with Dr. Konior if you can wait. I believe his waitlist at this point is around 1.5 years. Otherwise I would recommend Dr. Nadimi as well who work at Dr. Konior's practice and seems to have been trained by him and the results she's putting out are really really phenomenal as well. And I believe she's a bit cheaper. I just had my second FUT by Dr. Konior last week to add more density overall and I hate the pain and all the agony but it truly is worth it. Best of luck to you.

Dr. Konior knows best but honestly I'd say you should not go down this road. You would likely need multiple FUT sessions followed by at least one or more FUE session(s). To me your donor area looks weak, it doesn't have that dense thick look to it. But again, like others have mentioned, I would trust Dr. K to do his examination and tell you what you can achieve realistically. I hate to say it brother but accept the bald look. Just one FUT surgery is pretty damn painful. Not the actual procedure but the healing process on the incision, having difficulties sleeping, waiting, etc. Now keep in min

My Donor 6 Years Later

Dr. Konior does excellent works on crowns from what I've seen, I think you can't go wrong if you choose him 🙂 -
Sent Dr. Konior an email myself yesterday, you’re definitely one of my inspirations 😬 -
Dr. Wong has been known for his crown work, but Konior is definitely an amazing surgeon as well, doing great work on crowns.
-
Dr. K is worth every dollar, period. You’ll need to do some soul-searching about FUT v. FUE, but Konior’s gonna do the best work money can buy. -
Hello guys, So after a week of talking, Dr. Konior is offering to do 3,000-3,500 grafts (based on pictures; he'll be able to give a more precise number after doing a microscopic evaluation) for $25,000. Is this worth it? After seeing my pictures, is there anyone against the idea of undergoing a hair transplantation? -
Previous thread on first procedure with Dr. K with sole goal to rebuild the frontal zone: Second procedure on January 23, 2019, approx 1200 grafts: -400 in the front to lower hairline and address left temporal recession -200 feathered behind and through mid scalp -600 on crown which were multiple hair grafts. Doc spent a lot of time this time around laying out the days plan, drew a lot of lines and took a lot of photos since we were 'refining' and not 'rebuilding' the front - eventually came up with the idea of a subtle widows peak to address my desire to lo -
Shapiro or Konior
Melvin-Moderator replied to Eitan sandler's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Dr. Ron Shapiro is one of the forefathers of this site, he was the founders surgeon. Dr. Konior has evolved into one of the industries most respected surgeons. They are both excellent choices, my suggestion is to consult with both and talk to past patients. -
Thanks Melvin Next Monday September 14 I will going for a third procedure with Dr. Konior in Chicago. I will say that as I expected , 600 grafts for the crown in a NW 4/5 was just a drop in the bucket, which is why I did not post any pics from that zone. Yes there was definite improvement but there is a ways to go cosmetically. Hoping to get another 600 approx there in this next procedure and to also drop the hairline down a bit on the right side now, add a bit of density. I will say that after my first procedure I was anxious to get my second one.

I looked up retrograde alopecia. I don't think I have this. The sides and back of my head are thick. The only thinning I see is from the bottom of my neck going upwards a little bit (Also that picture is only 6 days after I razor shaved my head entirely, so hairs are still growing). But the safe donor zone appears to be thick. I have sent pictures to Dr. Konior, but don't think they'll respond until after labor day weekend. I'll update you guys on what he says!

I actually have a decent beard! Have transplanted hairs from the beard been successful? Does Dr. Konior do this as well?

Hello everyone, So I decided to go for Dr. Konior during the summer of 2017 and got a reservation for August 8th, 2018. I was 29 at the time and had some pretty extensive frontal balding going on. I had been balding mostly in the front from around age 18 - so pretty early. Luckily I had a decent amount of hair throughout my 20's, but in 2017 I decided I had to do something about my problem. The main issue I had was with people subconsciously scanning my hairline trying to figure out what the problem was up there. The framing in my face was gone and it was constantly drawing eyes, whi -
@VpacASMED is a expensive hairmill with technicians doing surgery on 8 patients per day and several complaints of unethical behaviour so you can`t compare it with HLC where you have a surgery fully performed by the best Doctors in Turkey (Dr. Akin and Dr. Ozgur) using a much more advanced and precise technique called stick&place (the same used by Dr. Konior considered by many to be the best FUE Doctor in the world). -
@Dr. Raymond Konior Was curious if this person would be able to have future surgeries if his balding progresses ? FUT ? or is his donor exhausted ? Very nice result -
Just had my third surgery with Dr. Konior on Monday, March 9. My first two go arounds were FUT (in 2009 and 2010) but his time I did FUE. Really had no choice because my scalp is tight after the two FUTs. I won't get pics from Dr. Konior for a bit as he's understandably busy but when I do get them, I'll update my blog/website. I have gone from being pretty much nearly bald when I started all this to pretty much having a full head of hair, thanks to Dr. Konior's amazing skill. When I first started all this, I was pretty uninformed about the hair transplant industry and the multitude of thi

Are those Dr. Konior's directions? -
Excellent work as always Dr. Konior 👏🏼

With Stick&Place the punch used to make the slits can have a diameter as low as 0,6mm because the graft is implanted immediately after the hole is punched so the hole/slit has no time to close. This is related to a quicker recovery with zero swelling along with a higher graft survival rate. Doctors doing pre-made slits are basically punching thousands holes (that immediately start to close once they are opened so they must be wider) that will stay open for quite some time before the technicians finish implanting thousands of grafts in the pre-made slits (where the Doctor marked the X).
